With superstar Freddie Freeman still unsigned and four newly-acquired outfielders also contemplating free agency, the Atlanta Braves will have a new look next year no matter how they do in the playoffs this year.

Because of his durability, there’s no heir apparent to Freeman in the Atlanta farm system. If he doesn’t sign, however, the team could pursue other free-agent first basemen, including long-time Cubs standout Anthony Rizzo, who finished this season with the Yankees.... [+]In addition to figuring out the Freeman finances, the Braves must decide what to do about their excess of outfielders. They acquired four via trade during the 2021 season after injuries idled Ronald Acuna Jr.

After leading the National League in runs batted in, Duvall will almost certainly receive a multi-year contract offer if he declined the mutual option in his contract. Unfortunately for the Braves, the hard-swinging Soler missed the last game of Atlanta’s NLDS when he tested positive for COVID-19 and may not be cleared in time to return before the current best-of-seven series ends. But he earned a new deal – from the Braves or someone else – with his performance while still active....

There could be changes on the pitching staff too, especially since veteran left-hander Drew Smyly failed to deliver dividends on a one-year, $11 million contract. He was hardly used after Labor Day.
